Basketball Junkie:
A Memoir
By Chris Herren
Genre: Non-Fiction/Memoir
Chris Herren hit his peak of basketball fame as a high school star in a town that worshipped him. Drug abuse and injury cost him his first opportunity at Boston College, and he was kicked off the team. Hiding his addiction as best he could, he starred for Fresno State and then was a 2nd round draft pick of the Denver Nuggets in 2009. In this autobiography, Herren recounts a very honest tale of his battle with addiction as a means for dealing with pressures and pain on and off the court.
